The light makes me feel happy, I imagine the plants are just loving every second under it.

its bright but does have a nice vibe in that room. Its funny GG because I have bought so many lights lol annnd sold alot as well, but these ol ufo gems are working well. I think the added 450nm blue is making a bigger difference than i thought. Compared to my last veg under the cmh alone these "seem" to be moving along faster and tighter node spacing. But they are new strains lol so theres that...

Couldn't resist a night shot, update day 31 flower, back to 12/12 but still using far red at lights out. No more extra 630/660nm red leds which i think may have been too much red after looking at the cmh graph of red it already has. And last my co2 is up to 1400 ppm. I'll have a very close eye on humidity as these will no doubt be the biggest colas in girth i've ever had.

Thanks Psuagro, I have the exact model # "Philips Advance 71A6552001" I unfortunately don't have a link, but they can be ordered through philips lighting website. Also the other ballast being used is a dna lighting solutions ballast but i can only find them through growershouse now....http://growershouse.com/tru-sun-900w-ceramic-mh-system-by-dna-lighting obviously NOT cost effective even though they do work well.

Hey Cola are you running far red 24/7 ? Does that effect your night time temps ? I`ve been tempted to see what bands and how much intensity of light I can add at night that will actually help increase yield or speed things up but I`ve not wanted to hermi anything or waste money
Do you find you still get a good colour change at night ? I try and drop my girls down to 18 maybe even 16c at night as I like to see some colour, but I`m tempted to add some far red and knowing I could run it 24/7 would probably be the last nail in the sales pitch I`d need to dust the old wallet off
There looking lush but you know that......

Thank you, To answer your questions in one shot, i use led far red , lumigrow bulbs 17 watts each works for the whole room 6x12ft. So my temps don't get effected at all. I tend to let my temps drop the last couple of weeks for any possible color. Hopefully that helps
Thanks kind sir, I'm hoping to take the blue dream to day 60-63 and the critical sensi and others at day 56-58 and today is 34. More than half way

Cool have you ran a comparison or seen anyone else run a vs with regards to running the far red at "night" ?Thank you, To answer your questions in one shot, i use led far red , lumigrow bulbs 17 watts each works for the whole room 6x12ft. So my temps don't get effected at all. I tend to let my temps drop the last couple of weeks for any possible color. Hopefully that helps
I saw some evidence that green light is used by some plants to repair themselves so one would think running green 25/7 may help sick or damaged plants recover but as they don`t use green efficiently it would be quite a waste of power
Hmm trying to think what I can nab cheap off ebay that will just have far red leds and be pretty much plug and play
I run about 600w of led and 200w of 3000k induction with some side lights 2 x 105w cfls on my main flower area so something like the 17w light your using might do me or maybe I can get some far red smd`s on the sticky back lengths and just do a little pattern around the sides of my led lights... lol

Yeah I just can`t seem to track one down in the uk but maybe being lazy and only using the bay is why lol

Yes indeed I am already keeping my humidity at 45 and under day and night just case haha
Also @THE KONASSURE I only run the far red for 5-10 min at lights out not 24/7. Just that 5-10 min goes a long way.
